Well I am going to be buying a lift for my garage. Mostly because I want to be able to put the six up high and park my daily driver under it and be able to leave one stall open all of the time just for ease of walking around. I have a 3 car garage and my wife has the middle stall for her daily driver.
In looking at these lifts, BendPak seems to emerge as a good quality unit. I did a search and came across several threads on lifts but nothing that specifically addresses the quality of the lifts. I am perfectly willing to bolt one to the garage floor if necessary. I know I want one that allows for the ramps to be moved wider if needed for an engine drop. I am hoping to be able to speak with BendPak on Monday to see what the recommend. I don't want overkill; I want a lift to be able to store the six and work on it. Not planning to put a 10K pound SUV on it. Thoughts or recommendations anyone? Thanks in advance. Michael |

The HD9 ST is narrower than the HD9. Make sure that the ramps/runners are far enough apart to allow you to drop the motor between them, if that is important to you.
There are plenty of videos out there that show why the Bendpak's are better than the Backyard Buddy. I think the Rotary's are as good or better than the Bendpaks but at a higher price. best of luck. |
